INTERPOL, as the implementing partner of the GLACY+ Project, organised the Workshop on Channels and Avenues for International Cooperation in Cybercrime in The Hague, Netherlands, from 17 to 18 October 2022. The event was a joint effort of INTERPOL, the Council of Europe, the United States Department of Justice, EUROPOL, and the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise (GFCE). 31 participants from 10 priority countries of the GLACY+, iPROCEEDS-2, and Octopus project participated in the Workshop.
This Workshop aimed to raise operational knowledge on the international cooperation mechanisms surrounding three possible forms of cooperation: police-to-police, police-to-judicial authorities, and police-to-service providers. A strong focus was put on the Second Additional Protocol to the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime that will provide a long-awaited stable legal basis for important aspects of cross-border cooperation.
Regional similar activities were organised in July and September for African and Latin American countries within the framework of the INTERPOL Regional Working Groups.
Through the GLACY+ Project, INTERPOL will continue to play the role of the global law enforcement platform for international cooperation for successful cybercrime investigations.
